ORCLddllATl •" OF GRADUATE SCHOOL .
ge:
The organisation is based upon.
I. The recognition of the department as a unit.
II. The qualified individual instructor or instruc-
tors within th ipartment as the directive
outs.
Iij.. The apprenticeship system of instruction; that
is, the clustering of one, two or three graduate
students about every oualified instructor in the
department and in the college for intimate study
and experience.
ORGANIZATION.
IV. ^ committee, consisting of the Instructor havj
the major suhject of the graduate student as
chairman, and such a number, as may he determined
by the director, of the instructors having the
minor or raonors or supporting courses of the
graduate student as associates, be appointed to
advise the student, supervise and control Ms
work, subject to the approval of the u-raduate
Staff.
V. The assignment of a graduate student to an in-
structor shall be left with the director and
Head of the jjepartment in which he elects his
major courses.
VI. Should a graduate student be admitted as a can-
didate for no degree and fail to designate a
major course, the director shall appoint a
committee to act in the same capacity and to
have the same power, as if a major and minor
had been chosen.
VII .."The Staff of the Graduate School", or the "crnad-j
uate Staff" shall consist of the President of
the Graduate School, and the instructors who
are chairmen of graduate stu.dent's committees
or who are in immediate charge of sixpervising .
graduate students' work, not candidates for a
degree. Subject to approval of the President
and Director of the Graduate School.
VIII. The Staff of the Tr ou-te Sfchool shall be dir-
ectly responsible to the President and the
Board of Trustees except in thos matters which
the President may deem desirable to treat con-
jointly with other staffs and faculties, as
Leral policies, before submitting them to
the Board of Trustees.
Some Essential Details and Folic ios .
IX. The number of graduate assistants should bo
increased to that point where the educational
work of the college or the investigations of
the station will he uninjured.
X. It is urged that the departmental courses of
study for graduate work be left with the staff
subject to the approval of the Board of Trust -
os, as formerly.
XI. ] ajor and monor courses leading to the dsgrees
of M. Agr. and D. Agr. , or such specific degrees
as may hereinafter be determined, shall be
formulated in the practical departments of the
college. In these courses basic systematic
work in the sciences and practices, along with
actual technical experience, shall be the highes
ideal. The formulation of such courses emanate
requirements and standards, -and shall be sub-
mitted to the Graduate Staff for action, which
in turn will transmit them to the Board of
Trustees for Approval.
XII. Since exchange with other institutions is high-
ly beneficial to graduate students, it shall be
the duty of the Director and Staff to foster it
in those cases where it is pertinent and valua-
ble as far as it is compatible with the interest
of our own institution. In case a graduate stud
cut cannot secure at this institution what is
essential to his work and training, it shall be
be the duty of the Director and the Staff for
such els ewher c .
XIII. Every graduate must satisfy the Graduate Staff
with a certain amount of practical agricultural
knowledge and training, the amount, kind and
quality to be determined by the Staff.

The President presented the f ollowing receive
for consideration:
That the President acting for the Trustees ad in-
terim, be authorized to issue Executive Orders
covering matters which, in his judgment, require
immediate decision, and these orders shall have the
same force as a Trustee vote. Such Executive Order
shall he reported to the proper Trustees Committee
or to the full Board, and be subject to approval
or reversal by the Trustees.
The President is further authorized to issue
similar orders in case of matters coming under the
immediate supervision of the Faculty.
The general policy above enunciated was discuss-
ed and approved. No action was taken, but it was agreed
that the details should be left for consideration in con-
nection with the reorganization of the by-laws of the in-
stitution.
Mr. Bowker read a tribute to the late Marquis
Fayette Dickinson, and it was
VOTED : To spread this tribute on the records of the
Board and to send a copy to Mr. Dickinson's
family.
Marquis Fayette Dickinson was a member of
this Board from 1905 to 1913, succeeding to
the vacancy caused by the resignation of
<— Charles L. Flint. His appointment by Governor
Bates was a surprise to many, and was. criti-
cised by a number of practical farmers, who
thought at the time that a practical farmer in-
stead of a lawyer should be appointed to the
Board. The appointment proved a wise one, for
we needed a man of Mr. Dickinson's training
and temperament. We needed a lawyer to advise
us in legal matters. Mr. Dickinson's services
were invaluable in this respect.
But, aside from legal advice, Mr 1 . Dickin-
son was a wise counsellor and a genial asso-
ciate. His keen humor and happy suggestions
often relieved a tens©, moment in our dis-
cussions. He possessed a charming personality,
always sunny, buoyant, and optimistic. He took
a broad, hopeful view of life, and of the work
of this institution. While Amherst College
was his alma mater, yet I think he loved Aggie
as much as he did Amherst, for it touched him
to have been made one of the trustees.
He was a loyal friend of the College and of
those who came to know him intimately. We regret
that ill health compelled him to resign, but he left
a delightful memory and a splendid example of faith-
ful, cheerful, helpful service. This Board wished
to record its deep appreciation of that service, and
to extend to his family its sincere sympath. "
It was
VOTJD: To endorse the action of the Committee on
buildings and Grounds in rescinding the vote
of the Committee of T - : ay 3, 1915, whereby
authorization was given for a competition
among architects, in the design of the pro-
posed Library Building.
On recommendation of the Committee on Buildings
and Grounds, it was
VOTED: To employ Mr. James H. Ritchie as architect
for the proposed Library Building.

III MEMORIAE
Our associate William Henry Bowker, senior mem-
bor of this Board in years of service, died at his home
in Boston, three days ago.
Born July 3, 1850, at Natick, and taught in the
public schools of Phillipston and Templet on, he was a
member of the first, -the "Pioneer" class of students re-
ceived at the Massachusetts Agricultural College October
2, 1867, and was graduated there July 19, 1871.
After about two years given to teaching and news-
paper work, he founded on new and untried lines, the bus-
Ines that by various stages grew Into the large, success-
ful, and dominant work of his life, -the making and merchai*
ising of fertilizers and allied products. In the techni-
cal and commercial aspects of that business he beca: e an
acknowledged authority.
He set up for himself and his associates, high
standards of honor and accountability; and was a potent
factor In promoting through legislative regulation and
otherwise the policy and practice of the open hand in
dealings between manufacturer and consumer.
Always from his student days an ardent friend of
the College, and perhaps the most resourceful and effective
worker and leader in its behalf, among Its alumni, -he be-
came In January, 1885, a member of this Board, as the first
one appointed by the Governor of the Commonwealth, under
legislation that sprung from his own early suggestion and
efforts to reform the tenure of its membership and termin-
ate its own self -elective functions.
He was conservative by family heritage and home
influence, democratic, large-hearted, a lover of manly men
and popular among his fellows. His mental traits, ripened
through wide and intimate contact with men and affairs and
by much reading and travel, were marked by breadth of view,
originality of ideas and Independence of thought, which
with a natural apteness of expression and power of effect-
ive statement, made him interesting in conversation and
discourse and forcible In controversy.
With intimates his speech was well-nigh as frank ■
and free as his thought; often leavened with humor, always
(when in health) with good nature- and if in discussing
real issues to be faced and placed, he sometimes urged his
view or criticised an opposing one with an apparent excess
of ardor, it was not due to lack of human kindness and
sympathy in his make up, but rather to keen interest, am-
ple courage and faith in his cause. withal, he was equally
ready to concede points scored by an opponent, and left no
sting in the hearts of those with whom he differed.
He has now laid down in honor and loyalty at the
feet of his Alma Mater and of the Commonwealth, the burden
and the harvest that go with high privilege and duty done,
after the longest term of service given by any present or
former member of this Board; and was himself conspicuous
in making that period the richest and most fruitful in the
history of the College he loved so well.
Be it Therefore Resolved:
That this Memorial be inscribed upon the
records of this Board; and
That a copy hereof be sent to his beloved
wife and family, to whom we offer our deepest sympathy.
The following officers of the Board were elected
for the ensuing year:
His Excellency, Samuel W. McCall, President.
Charles A. Gleason, of Hew Braintree, Vice-President.

IN MEMORIAM
Frank Alvan Hosmer, member of this Board since January
1911, died at his home in Amherst on the twenty-seventh
day of May, last.
Born November 14, 1853, in Woburn, and educated in its
public schools, he entered Amherst College in 1871, was
graduated there in 1875, and in 1878 received its M. A.
degree for post graduate work in History and Political
Science.
After graduation he taught in the schools of Woburn,
Brimfield and Palmer, and from 1879 to 1888 he held the
dual positions of Principal of the High School and
Superintendent of Schools in Great Barrington. From
1888 to 1890 he was editor and publisher of the Berkshire
Courier in Great Barrington, and a correspondent of the
New York Haald.
For ten years from 1890 to 1900, Mr. Hosmer was Presi-
dent of Oahu College at Honolulu, where he became prominent
in social and civic affairs, and sanitary problems, and in
political activities that culminated in the establishment
of Hawaii as a territory of the United States. He re-
turned to the States in 1900, and after visiting England
and France, settled in Amherst in 1901.
During the last eighteen years, he has served loyally
and well his town, state, and country,- for the common
10/2/1918
interests of the community in which he lived, — in many
lines of public and community service; and particularly
in these later days he had devoted his energies without
stint to activities in support of the world-wide war
for humanity.
Mr. Hosmer represented the Third Hampshire District
in the General Court of 1908 and 1909; was appointed by
Governor Draper in December 1910 a member of this Board;
and reappointed by Governor McCall January last for
another term.
Here he has served continuously and with diligence
and faithfulness unsurpassed, upon the Trustee Committees
on Finance, Course of Study of Faculty, and on Legislation,.
of which committee, during the later years of his service,
he was Chairman.
He has always shown a broad, liberal, and sympa-
thetic spirit in construing the objects and upholding
the standards of the College; and in striving to make those
objects and standards effective through the work of its
various departments.
He was cordial and sympathetic toward all* He
laid hold on opportunity gladly, accepted responsibility
cheerfully, and undertook manfully whatever work or duty
came to his hand,-- until in a night he was taken, after
a life filled to its last day with the purpose and privil-
ege of high calls to service, bravely met and faithfully
answered.
Be It Therefore Resolved :
That this memorial be inscribed upon the records
of the Board: and
That a copy hereof be sent to his beloved wife, to
whom we offer our deepest sympathy.
The President presented a schedule of various
salary increases for the ensuing year, some of which had
already been considered and recommended by the various
committees.
After discussion, and on motion of Mr. Bowditch,
it was
VOTED: To grant the following increases subject to the
approval of such State authorities as may be
required by law, these increases to take effect
October 1, 1918, or on such date as may be advised
by the Attorney General :
